Answered Prayers for Cancer
Peace After My Surgery

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.
Dear Fr. Marco, I sent a prayer card for my own strength and healing before my cancer surgery. I was so afraid, but carrying my prayer to St. Peter's gave me a deep sense of calm. The surgery went as well as could be hoped. I have been recovering at home. The pain is manageable, and I feel a stillness in my heart I didn't have before. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my request. It meant a great deal to know my prayer was there.
